Current Affairs Donald Trump POS: Judgement cometh and that right soon

[Tommy Chong]

Trump's arguably the strongest President of the post-War era. Seriously. Strong in the sense of getting his own way despite countless obstacles, strong in the sense of having the people and policies of his choice in place. Other Presidents always had the system in the way of getting their own way.

Strongman = strong. Impressive stuff we all have to admit.

Oh wow... Taking a page directly out of the book of Trump, are we?

That is... Demean, condescend and use sarcastic belittlement to put down someone who dares to criticize your opinion, instead of offering to engage them in an amicable debate on why you think their point is not valid. You know, like how most decent emotionally mature adults behave?

I can see why you love that clown so much.

Gonna be awesome when you can't abort an unwanted embryo due to violent rape so that the embryo can later grow up and be killed in an open-carry massacre.

So the guy, who just got away with an extreme sexual harassment (I would call it a rape) accusation starts his new career by saying “the use of contraception as “abortion-inducing drugs”? Women and their rights are really being thrown into dirt.

Conception can occur mere hours after male ejaculation, so the use of a coil or pill after the fact can indeed be argued to be abortion. Tho' science is not quite certain, it's felt that most conceptions occur a few days after sex. So those would technically not be abortions but rather birth-control, protection or contraception.

As there's no way of knowing exactly when conception occured after unprotected sex, Kavanaugh is erring on the side of his conservative religious caution.

By the way I'm not agreeing with his possible implication that using these controls mere hours or days after sex should be seen as a morally negative thing. But he does have a point, however skinny.

The celebrated National Geographic documentary Life Before Birth - In the Womb muses over when life begins once the sperm reaches the egg. If it begins at conception, and conception can occur before an IUD or somesuch is used, then yes you can technically call it an abortion, so those methods or drugs can thus technically be called “abortion-inducing drugs”.

You have become a parody. End.

Meanwhile, the Saudis have reacted to the talk of some form of action taken against them after the disappearance of Khashoggi:

On Sunday, Riyadh vowed to hit back against any action. “The kingdom affirms its total rejection of any threats and attempts to undermine it, whether through economic sanctions, political pressure or repeating false accusations,” it said.

“The kingdom also affirms that if it is [targeted by] any action, it will respond with greater action.” The statement also pointed out that the oil-rich kingdom “plays an effective and vital role in the world economy”.

....

Turki Aldhakhil, the general manager of Al Arabiya, the official Saudi news channel, in an opinion piece claimed Saudi was ready to implement 30 measures “without flinching” the moment US sanctions were imposed, including cuts to oil production that could lead to prices jumping to $100 a barrel or even $200. “The truth is that if Washington imposes sanctions on Riyadh, it will stab its own economy to death, even though it thinks that it is stabbing only Riyadh,” he wrote.

Ramping up the rhetoric even more, Aldhakhil warned the repercussions of US sanctions could include a military alliance between Saudi Arabia and Russia and an end to intelligence sharing.

Hard to see how this ends without MBS having some form of accident.

On the one hand, the Saudis were due a piping down. On the other hand, might it get more ugly than it's worth?

Noone wants $200 a barrel oil or to lose the billions and billions of arms sales, so the idea that they will act against the Saudis is unbelievable.

However MBS is not "the Saudis", and going back to the good old days is something that many in the US and (especially) at the top of Saudi society would support wholeheartedly - especially when his antics over Yemen, over Canada and now this do not work and worst of all look to put a lot of peoples ill gotten gains at risk.

Dude, you can't have a different train of thought. You're not meant too. It scares them. (Kanye West for example).

I gave up reading/posting in this topic a while back, but thought I'd check back in to see what's happening. The same old stuff. If you like Trump you're automatically sexist, racist, anti-immigrant etc. It's tiring, stupid and does nothing for healthy debate.

You'll be better off leaving this topic so they can continue moaning day in day out about Trump and how terrible he is and how bad the USA is getting. It doesn't end for them. No positive thought at all. Unless it's about the midterms, then we'll see a change they believe. And if it doesn't work out how they want, then they assert the US is going backwards. Is looking like a joke on the international stage. I could go on, but I won't. It'll upset some and I thought I'd only offer my two cents as I do enjoy your opinions etc.

Just on Kanye did you not think the fella seemed ill ? I felt really uncomfortable watching him.

Nah didn't think too much of Kanye's meeting with Trump. Didn't seem ill to me. No more than when some celebs rant on about Trump.

Each to there own.

In any sense it doesn't mean there is something wrong with them. Unless it's Don Lemon making the assessment. Now there is a dude who I sometimes feel funny watching.
